😊great video

[@Alys3]

I have suffered with plantar fasciitis in both feet for around 2 years. It does tend to flare up and get worse at times, and which foot is worse changes too - lately it has been the right foot. I have also had Achilles tendinitis. I have been to my podiatrist, tried custom orthotics, icing, stretching, a vibrating roller that claimed to help, so many different things, nothing has really made much of a difference, but I am so happy to say that this video has helped drastically. After the first session I noticed the change and now having done it four nights in a row, it seems to be improving more and more each day. I have gone from crippling pain all day every day, walking slowly with a limp in order to get around at work (where I am on my feet all day), to what I would describe as more discomfort than pain. I can walk without a limp, although it is taking some time to get out of the habit! Sitting here now writing this I have no pain, whereas before my foot would have been throbbing in pain even with no pressure on it. I am emotional thinking about how much better my life is going to be without the constant foot pain!! Thank you so, so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@DrMelissaOleson]

Hello Alyce ! Same here! All was done ( inserts and shoes had cost me $1.500 in my case and it’s about 3 yrs now and plantar fasciitis goes off and on / I’m going through with much pain !!! Geezzzzz!So Im trying in a few min this type of stretching ! Wondering how you doing today ? I think ur comment is from about 1 yr ago .

[@lalights6]

I am so happy for you! :D

[@cgloca71]

I’ve been suffering from plantar fasciitis for four months or so, affecting my mobility drastically. I stopped taking my dogs on walk, I stopped hiking, I hated waking through a grocery store. After one week of these exercises there was a dramatic difference and I’m having pain free days. If I skip a day I can feel the pain start to come back, so now I’m making this 20 minute video a priority! Thank you so much.

[@DrMelissaOleson]

I have done these exercises every night for one week and there is a huge improvement. Before, my pain level was at 7/8, now it is about 2/3. Yesterday I went on a 3-mile hike and only had some mild discomfort at the end. I never could have even attempted this hike before I had done these exercises! Thank you so much for your help!

After doing some races last year I developed foot pain that seemed to be PF but was never diagnosed. It kept me from hiking and running , which were my outlets, all summer. Thank you for this video. it has helped tremendously. I’m now back to training for a race and hoping that keeping this video in my rotation will help keep the pain at bay.

just found your video today and I’m going do a little bit at a time because I’m afraid of actually causing more problems which I tend to do. I hope everything will work for me because it’s really difficult as everyone who has PF knows. Thank you so much.

I have been suffering with plantar fasciitis for nearly a year now. Everything I have been doing has not worked. I just found your video and I am going to start tomorrow because just standing and trying to walk is very difficult everyday. Thank you so much for making this video a available to all who suffer from this condition. I will let you know how it has helped after a week.

You are welcome Tina! Yes please keep me posted I would love to know how these exercises go for you. Keep up the good work!

[@ericchristopher1687]

Thank you for this video. I recently developed plantar fasciitis and have tried a number of treatments. Rolling my calves with your ball-and-block combination helped immediately, as did rolling over the ball on the bottoms of my feet. I especially appreciate the pace of your video - slow enough so that I didn't fall behind or get out of sync with your demonstrations. I subscribed and Liked and look forward to more of your videos.

[@DrMelissaOleson]

Hi there! I am so happy to hear the video helped! Thanks for subscribing, keep up your awesome work.

[@aliali-uw7hk]

Thank you for these exercises, but my question is, can we practice a normal life with a fasciitis infection, for example, run or work? I suffer from pain only when I am standing still for a short period. I suffer from the injury a year ago, but I can run and practice life normally.

[@themulti-coloredcanary5795]

I've recently acquired my very own case of PF and oh my God! I also have a bunion on the same foot and I believe that the bunion is the primary cause. I went to the doctor because the pain was so bad I couldn't even walk. He had zero suggestions for the plantar fasciitis and when I told him I needed to think about and get affairs in order before surgery, he jumped up out of his chair and told me call him when I was ready and he walked out the door. No recommendations... Actually that's not true, after pushing his fat porky finger into the most painful spot of my foot, he told me I needed to stretch. Him sticking his finger in my foot was so painful I busted out into tears. I'm going to follow this and I will check back in in a week.

[@DrMelissaOleson]

Yes please keep us posted with how these exercises go! We also have lots of other foot pain relief exercise videos on our channel! Keep up the great work you got this!

Hi, I’ve had planters fasciitis for three years and I want to commend you for giving this video to people like me. I've tried everything possible to rid myself of this foot pain but nothing worked until I ran across your video. This has stopped me from wearing my favorite shoes so I can’t dress the way I desire to. You are a blessing and I appreciate you. 😊

[@vinayk1775]

I am from Mumbai and suffering from PF since a month. Getting worse. I did not use the brick and ball but massaged my calf with using my thumb. The instant relief is amazing. Sometimes the pain is unbearable! Thanks so much for the calf thing !

So awesome, way to go using your hands to help release the calf muscle! Keep up the great work!

So happy to hear that, thanks for sharing! Keep up your awesome work.

[@jacquieb112]

Thank you for these exercises. It didn’t heal my plantar fasciitis in one week but I have definitely seen some improvement. When I first started, I had excruciating pain in my heel, worse in the mornings, but still all day and could barely walk. Pain is tolerable now but standing or walking for more than 5 minutes is still very painful (I also have a heel spur). I will continue this every morning in hopes that I can get back to walking a decent distance soon! 😊

Thank you so much for making this available! I’ve been doing this for 5 days and the first 3 days and each time it felt better and better. Yesterday I had a bit of a relapse and wondering if I could be overdoing it. Can you explain what you mean by overhydrating? Thank you so much for offering this healing and being so engaged and encouraging. It’s really refreshing

[@DrMelissaOleson]

You are welcome! So glad you are finding this video helpful! By overhydrating and doing too much, I mean rolling for more than 60 seconds in 1 spot. Sometimes people think more is better, but here more is not better 30-60 seconds with each technique is plenty.

[@hasappho]

Thank you so much! This video gave me instant relief and I plan to keep doing it. Love your positive energy and your deep knowledge (i.e. had no idea there was a connection between feet and pelvic floor!)

Phenomenal video, I blame it on years of safety boots, my feet and now calfs and thighs are in bits . Those toe stretches revealed a massively sensitive and tendor muscle along the big toe. I am a bit alarmed at how many loud clicks, snaps and pops are emminating from my feet , it feels like tendons in my feet are all misaligned 😮

[@DrMelissaOleson]

So glad you enjoyed this video! Yes the shoes we wear can impact our feet so making sure we do mobility and deep feet strengthening exercises can help. Keep up the great work!

[@RubyZan]

I'm at a point of pain and despair that makes me want my miserable existence to end. Fifteen years. I tried everything. I hope this will help.

[@Charu185]

Did it do anything??

[@shanaharrison4402]

I'll refrain from calling you the Messiah, but during the first session, when we did the golf ball roll, I could feel how tender the spot was and that we were possibly on to something. I immediately felt more balanced and the tension in my foot had relaxed so exponentially. I woke the next morning and while I still had heel pain and what feels like knives poking my heel, I could walk without limping. After two nights of this routine, I woke up with almost no pain. Just the simple advice of spreading your toes has made a world of difference. I took a day off from the routine. I did the routine again this evening and the tender spot on my arch has improved so much. I know it'll take time to truly heal and rehab. But I have been stretching and rolling, icing, using a night splint and massage gun. All those things helped to varying degrees, but this is the only thing that really feels progressively better. (I got a cortisone shot and considered getting another one, but I knew if I did, I would fall into the habit of not rehabbing my foot/calf and wearing crappy shoes.) I am so so grateful for this video and your expertise.

[@DrMelissaOleson]

This is so amazing and thank you for sharing! Way to go putting in the work and working on your feet and calf muscles. Keep up the great work and please keep us posted with how you heel if feeling 💕

[@sherylchin1]

Dr. Olesan, greetings from Singapore and thank you for sharing the video. After doing it for four days, my plantar fasciitis is so much better on both of my feet. There is still an aching and sore pain 2 fingers down the ankle of my right foot sometimes when I wake up in the morning or when I have walked too much. I would appreciate it if you could recommend some video exercises to me.

[@DrMelissaOleson]

Glad you found this video helpful! We have lots of other videos on foot pain that you can search for on our channel that you might enjoy. Keep up the great work!

[@Iamravenschild]

Yes, more videos on how to get rid of my three years of plantar fasciitis I have tried everything except surgery. It is my driving foot and I volunteer for too many things and have not home support to not be able to do anything for minimum of 6 months..

[@DrMelissaOleson]

Absolutely! We have several videos on our channel for foot pain. Here is one of them kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHTNZX6MfMlra9Esi=fpGH1cALY6aktVea

[@zyoeru]

I recently could feel a flare up of shin splints and plantar fasciitis and after this session I felt instant relief. I think it works just as well as the normal exercises with the added benefit of being more mindful.

[@DrMelissaOleson]

That is amazing way to go ! So glad you felt some relief !! Absolutely mindfulness is so key

[@AnnieSherratt]

At the start of the video on my first day in reply to ‘spread your toes’, my feet were ‘hahaha, nope’ 😂but now after a few days I’m definitely seeing improvement and my feet aren’t hurting as much. Thank you! (I’m definitely going to stick with these stretches)

[@DrMelissaOleson]

So amazing!!!! Way to go! Keep up the great work! You got this!

[@ElijahBryant3]

Is it ok to apply pressure on the bottom of the feet when it’s sore? My pain is more in the heel

[@user-ch5ek3cw3f]

Great Video! Should I do this routine daily? Sorry if I missed that. Thanks! I’ve had plantar fasciitis for 20 years getting operated on in one month. I’d be happy to cancel it.

[@DrMelissaOleson]

So glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, I have some clients that do these exercises daily and some tht do a few time a week. This is where listening to your body and what you are feeling coming into play. I also have a few other videos on Plantar fasciitis! Sometimes looking further up the chain can be helpful too what happens to the foot impacts what's going on at the hip and pelvis. There is a big connection between our feet & pelvic floor. Keep up the good work!

[@chocolatesweets05]

This worked after one time! Finally! Something that helps! What size is the small ball that you use?

[@DrMelissaOleson]

Getting rid of PF is high priority for me. It's my left foot and the left toes don't splay like the right ones ( less)

[@DrMelissaOleson]

Awesome job being aware of the difference between the 2 sides! Keep up the great work you got this!

[@feast2faminebeast21]

Whilst my feet and calves feel looser, I feel like my heel is slightly more inflamed following exercises. Is this normal? My PF has always been isolated to my heel and medial insertion point. It started through the middle of last netball season, and I'm looking to commence another netball season soon. I'm at the stage where it's mainly a niggle though had a little flare up following a social game on concrete.

These look great. I'm going to try them soon. I have a question, if I only have fasciitis in one foot, do I still need to do the exercises symmetrically or just the affected side is enough? Thank you!! :)

[@DrMelissaOleson]

Awesome! Cannot wait to hear how they go! It all depends, I have my clients work on both sides, but if they are short on time focus on the side that hurts.

Thanks for the video. Do you use percussion massagers? I just started using a Theragun and I was surprised how quickly my foot pain went away because I started using it for ankle and hip mobility.

[@DrMelissaOleson]

I have a number of clients that use the theragun in combination with the rolling and mobility work. And yes, definitely going further up the chain is where I often find the root cause of the foot pain. Toe spacers can also be super helpful! Keep up the good work!

[@nancyosgood7584]

@@DrMelissaOleson Can you speak more about toe spacers? For context, I have toe mobility issues due to bunions on both feet. Thanks! I'm 3-days in and am feeling some relief from PF and really tight calves.

[@DrMelissaOleson]

@@nancyosgood7584 Such a great question. I LOVE toe spacers and recommend them to the clients I work with especially who have bunions. The spacers help with the mobility in your toes as well as building up strength in the deep intrinsic muscles (the ones help with arch in your foot). I have a few videos on bunions too kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIisYmuHi82enrs

[@nancyosgood7584]

@@DrMelissaOleson Thanks so much for the speedy reply. I'll check out the video and get some spacers! On day 4 of the week commitment to your video. I'm feeling relief. Grateful to you!

I don’t get how you can have all your toes touch the Matt while you are doing some of these exercises. Especially the one in table top and toes pushed back. I’m pretty good at spreading my toes but I feel like my two littlest toes are so drastically shorter than my largest one that if I wanted to have all my toes touch I would have to twist my ancle/ scicle in a really bad way. Idk does that mean I need to stretch more or could my feet just be that way

[@elizabethhubbard3264]

I have been suffering with PF for months. I’m super frustrated because it want go away impacting my quality of life. I tried this routine this morning for the first time. By the end, I was able to spread a few toes. I’m looking forward to seeing how this routine helps, I feel hope. How many times daily should I do this routine? Please share any other foot, ankle , calf routines for foot pain.

[@DrMelissaOleson]

Glad you enjoyed this video! We have several other videos on foot pain on our channel you can search through. Everyone is different with how frequently some do this daily some a few times a week, and some spread out more, it's all in what works best for you. Keep up the great work!

Gracias !!

I am a long time yoga practioner, very flexible and yet with age I got this pain.

[@DrMelissaOleson]

So many reasons for plantar fasciitis! I have also struggled with it in the past. Now I have a regular foot mobility and strengthening routine 💗

[@supreetkaur147]

I request if you have more techniques for removing this plantar pain please share

[@DrMelissaOleson]

[@sylviascholler]

I suffer from Plantar Faciitis on my right foot since last year. Now on my left foot because of compensation and now suffer on BOTH!! I am followed by a specialist surgeon but with all the treatments he now wants to operate and I am trying to find another way before doing this drastic operation!

[@DrMelissaOleson]

We have a number of different foot pain relief videos on our channel and even one talking about the connection between the feet and pelvic floor! Keep up the good work and so awesome you are exploring all the options💕💕

[@shannonferry]

Do you have any suggested alterations for someone with pudendal neuralgia? I felt the nerves heating up a bit when going through these. I’m guessing it’s the part where I rock back and forth with the toes on the floor in the kneeling position? Or maybe the part with one knee bent, hip ticked and stretching to the left? Thanks for any help! Definitely like this sequence and would love to be able to fix this 9+ month pain!

[@DrMelissaOleson]

Great question! We have several videos on our channel for pudendal neuralgia like this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnSlm6R3mNuqe5osi=0ow0VPLyYzj6yOSS I always recommend listening to your body there are always ways to modify exercises so they work best for you. And we also have a foot pain & pelvic floor video too

[@Dbsabzbzb]

Years ago, I started feeling heel pain...I’m a land surveyor and walk a lot...so I looked into what was going on and learned that the collapsing arch strains the attachment of the tendon to the heel, so I folded up some paper towels and put them in my shoes to support the arches in my feet and ...voila!...heel pain subsided, problem solved...

[@nicholasrichardson2330]

Dr. Olson - thank you for this video. I’m only second day in, but seeing some lessening of pain in walking, already. I do have a question indirectly related to the videos: My muscles tend to cramp easily, particularly calves and hamstrings. If stretching one muscle, the corresponding muscle group that is supposed to relax often cramps…, making me have to stop the stretch mid-process. Any suggestions? I’m a male, 65 years old, in good health and fit for my age. I am also subject to leg cramps at night. (My apologies to all if this is off topic.) Thanks.

[@DrMelissaOleson]

Such a great question! A lot of my clients experience leg cramps, which can be from a number of different things so I always recommend checking in with your doctor for what is best for you. Hydration and electrolytes are a good place to start! It's recommended to drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces per day. I have been working on this one and definitely notice a difference when I am dehydrated. Keep up the great work!

[@soundheals1]

Can you tell me what nerve innervates both the pelvic floor and the foot, as you've mentioned?

[@DrMelissaOleson]

The tibial nerve branches from the sciatic nerve which comes from nerve roots L5-S3. S2-3 nerve roots controls the action of spreading your toes from the deep foot muscles specifically, which are the nerve roots that innervate the pelvis.

[@strongsyedaa7378]

Plantar plate is also Plantar Fascitis pain?

[@tommylewis8293]

Happy to trade my good right foot for your good left foot 😊
